Culture and diversity

The Institute offers culturally-relevant and sensitive educational models, programs, and resources to help American Indian students succeed in school (emphasis on K12 but also in postsecondary), as well as in the workplace.

The Institute addresses the importance of equipping professionals to deliver services to people with disabilities and/or those at-risk, and their families, in a culturally sensitive and appropriate manner.

The Institute identifies instructional strategies and educational policies that support the educational success of English language learners (ELLs) and limited English proficient (LEP) learners with and without disabilities in K-12 schools.
